Taking a writing workshop helps, too. You have a deadline (which really helps me stay focused) and you get feedback from the other students, plus give feedback on their stories.

I'm the same way - I start stories and stop when I get stuck because when I'm manic I'm too impatient and unfocused. Same goes for writing music... Haven't really finished anything except for school papers (non-creative writing). Deadlines do help but when I'm manic sometimes I can't even focus long enough to get something in on time... UG!
Working out helps because it allows you to burn off some of your extra energy.
I'll let you know if I discover anything else that could be particularly useful!
